Holland Hall Learning Commons

The Gr. 1s spent some time with Botley today! We love using Botley, because it’s a screen free coding. They completed 3 of Botleys challenges today, and we had so much fun! @StBonaventures @kathycoffin #whatdidyoulearntoday

We are ready for Holland Hall to join us in Mullock Hall tomorrow.

Kindergarten had fun driving our Sphero Minis yesterday! They learned about their motor, their shell, how to aim them, and of course, practiced taking turns! We even had a race at the end! So much fun 🤖🎉 #whatdidyoulearntoday @StBonaventures

We love coding! The Gr. 3s began their first journey on @codingville and began to learn how to block code movements. For some, it was their first experience with block coding. They learned something new AND developed problem solving skills! @StBonaventures #whatdidyoulearntoday

All of our zones were being used yesterday! Our Gr. 6s were excited to explore and create in a zone of their choice 🎉 we love seeing the students develop their interests! @StBonaventures #whatdidyoulearntoday

The Gr. 3s had their first publishing party today in the LC! The Gr. 1 students were invited as an audience and they were excellent listeners. What an amazing group of authors we have!! @StBonaventures #whatdidyoulearntoday

So many choices as our Scholastic book fair.

Our Scholastic book fair ends today at 4pm. Holland Hall parents note, we are open this afternoon during PT interviews.

Our Scholastic Book Fair is a huge success! We love reading at SBC!

The Gr. 6s are working on their first podcast! Their teachers planned a project within social studies and they’re using podcasts to show learning through an interview. They are recording and editing independently. Can’t wait to listen! @StBonaventures #whatdidyoulearntoday

The K & 1s had their first STEM experience on Monday! They helped their friend Harry by building him a perch to see in the LC! It was excellent to see the Gr. 1s in a leadership role. Everyone was so creative with their planning and building! @StBonaventures #whatdidyoulearntoday

The Kindergartens had their first Chromebook experience yesterday with a digital choice board all about pumpkins! They did a great job learning how to use the trackpad on a laptop and independently selecting their activities! @StBonaventures #whatdidyoulearntoday

Finally, we have another new addition! Our new podcast booths will be used a lot this year as students of all ages are eager to record podcasts. It’s going to be awesome to hear their podcast ideas come to life! @StBonaventures

Next is: Makerspace, Building Zone, Textiles/Cricut and Video Editing! The students will be eager to visit these zones and use their imagination and creativity for all of their brilliant ideas! @StBonaventures

We have 4 zones that are in the first room. Along with the meeting area, there is the: Book Nook, Chromebook Corner, Game Zone and Coding Zone! These zones have lots of space to develop interests or gain new ones! I’m sure these will be buzzing with excitement! @StBonaventures

Keep an eye out for pics of our updated Learning Commons 👀This summer we worked hard to build a warm & inviting space to inspire students to inquire, create & learn. So excited for what’s to come this year! @StBonaventures

We’re ready for a new year in the LC! So excited to have our first two groups of students today! It’s going to be an exciting, creative and brilliant year in the HH LC! Stay tuned for sneak peaks of our summer upgrades and for the student’s reactions! @StBonaventures

So proud of the Gr. 2 and 3 students who presented their Passion Projects today! There were posters, sculptures, slideshows, drawings and podcasts! We learned so much from our creative and inspired students. Special thanks to everyone who came! @StBonaventures @mssamuelsonsbc

Kindergarten spent time today making mazes for the sphero bots! It was so fun to create a maze with dead ends and turns, and then to drive the bots through it! @MelissaFollett1 @StBonaventures

Gr. 2 had a chance at practicing their typing skills yesterday with lessons, activities and games! They loved it and one student said it was the best thing they’ve done all year! 😂 We call that a success! @StBonaventures
